When larry cook, the aging patriarch of a rich, thriving fram in Iowa, decides to retire, he offers his land to his three daughters.For Ginny and Rose, who live in the farm with their husbands, the gift makes sense - a reward for years of hard work, a challenge to make the farm even more sucessful. But the youngest, Caroline, a Des Moines lawyer, flatly rejects the idea, and in anger her father cuts her out - setting off an explosive series of events that will leave none of them unchanged. A classic story of contemporary American life, A thousand acres strikes at the very heart of what it means to be a father, a daughter, a family.
